How Do You Pronounce The Word Coupon? (free, strange, people)

[Stratford, Ct. Resident]

How do you pronounce the word Coupon? Do you pronounce it as "Coo-pon" or "Cue-pon" or both? I have a tendency to use both pronunciations.

I wasn't sure whether or not this would really fit if i posted it in the Writing Forum, but if i'm wrong, feel free to move it.

Coo-pon, Toos-day, THANKS-giving, hayn-ger...

Cue pon, NEW clee er, Cue min, hang-er, iyern!, tiyerd, mar ah skeeno

Cue-pon.
I say this word almost all day at work. I would say that most people say it the other way. I'm not sure what the right way is.....but I doubt I'll change the way I say it.

I'm with you...I say it both ways! Not sure why? Kind of strange to flit from one pronunciation to another...Oh well!!!

......Depends on the mood I'm in.

Oh Wow, I've said it both ways. I thought I was so definite with my language. Like counselor is Cown-sell-or not con-sell-er. Hang-er Coo-men. Weird!

That's a good question, a question I was just thinking to myself about the other day. I've heard it pronounced both ways, but I've always pronounced it as CUE-PON. I guess either way is OK.

I say it both ways, neever thought about it til now..

It's like that age old dilemma ......... Aunt (ant) or ont? Vase or voz?
